The title says it all, really. The Maus is bored. So bored that she's going to update her blog page with some random drivel.

I could probably update you on the marvy purchases I made in the last few weeks (a new pair of jeans, two suitcases, tights, underwear, two classical cds, dvds, tweezers, a nail buffer and nail varnish. Ooo! And a gorgeous handbag), or I could try to convince you all to watch the rather fabby anime series I've been watching; Baccano!, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and (it's got a great theme tune) Umineko.
I order you to check them out! Seriously.

I've just realised that I don't really tell much about myself. I mean, there've been some very personal blogs in the past, and I've probably come across as brash, in the words of some ''bitchy'' and perhaps rather depressed. However you'd read and interpreted it, really. However talking to people I've spoken to for years, I've kinda realised that I don't let a lot of myself show. Not the basic facts and details of who I am, just a few random snippets of emotions, if I'm having a particularly fiery moment.

Well. I'll enlighten some those of you who actually care.

Basics:

5 foot 4 (ish), blonde hair, blue eyes, medium-pale complexion and (apparently) adorable dimples when I smile.
I'm size 10 and have an hour glass body shape. Actually. Ignore that, that's as unnecessary as my shoe size. (5 and a half)
My marital status is that of 'In a Relationship'. I find it hard to believe it's already been well over 2 years. It all passed by so quickly.

I currently attend Lancaster University. There are probably many girls that look like me, so I won't worry about stalkers or murderers trying to find me. I study History, and I specialise in pre-1700 cultures, though I *am* going to do a course on Imperial India up to the Partition. Just what I need to get my blood boiling once more at the arrogance and cruelty of our forefathers.

Apart from history, I enjoy music very much. I play the saxophone (not in a while though, I've just realised. Woops) and have accomplished a good grade 6, whilst having picked up grade 3 acoustic guitar, and being quite experienced in using my voice for musical uses rather than debating in various choirs. My preferred genres are Ska and Cabaret, though I generally listen to anything - except heavy metal/screamo. I'm sorry, but I have to draw the line there. I try not to be musically snobby, but that is NOISE, not music.

I'm a bookworm, too. I'm currently in trouble because my room is untidy. Part of the problem there is the number of books I have forced into the limited space of my bookshelf. Hardly my fault, since a lot of those non-fitting books were bought for me!

I'm quite a friendly soul, really. I believe very strongly in giving everyone a fair chance when I meet them. I know what it's like to receive the opposite treatment. I've been called ''quirky'' and ''cute'' a lot though, especially when I speak in a certain frame of mind, so I guess I must be doing something right. Can be called ''obsessive'' or ''passionate'' (prefer that one) though, too, by the same people, if I've become upset or angry about something or other that's going on in the world. Yes, you evil human beings, I DO take issue with what you're doing!


I'll let you in on a secret: I'm actually more terrified of going back to uni this year than I was at the prospect of starting it last year. I guess it's because I know how bad it can be. Still, I actually know people this time round, and I have sort of mentally prepared myself for the worst case scenario flat-mate-wise... I know how bad certain types of people can be through others' experiences, so I'm not expecting much in the way of brilliance.

The work load though is something I just can't prepare myself for, no matter how I try. It's actually rather scary. I just hope that I love the courses; I know I will at least 2 of them, but one or two are either unfamiliar in format, or the content sounds incredibly dull, as written by the lead lecturer.

I'm still waiting on my deposit from my college, for my room. I'd really like to know how much they've taken from me, and for what. As is annoyingly normal for my college though, there's been a massive delay because of technical difficulties and new systems which means that the old finances haven't been transferred yet. Lame excuse, but there you go. It's the same every time money transactions are taking place. Or supposed to.
